Taehyung's POV

Jimin and I just finished cleaning the dining room.

We wiped down the wooden table and scrubbed the floor so it became less sticky, likely from alcohol being spilt.

Jimin and I had gotten over what happened this morning as I forgave everyone to an extent so we laughed together when leaving the dining room about some jokes we made while cleaning.

Such as references to me being on all fours and me backing up against the table on accident as sexual jokes that included the captain and me.

Jimins brain is seriously something else.

We both left the inside cabin but my heart almost had a heart attack from the sight we opened the door too.

Of course it revolved around none other than Jungkook.

I heard shrieks coming from the other crew members as I saw Jungkook on his feet and hands doing push ups.

However he was completely shirtless.

His entire half was uncovered.

With every push up his back muscles moved, and his arm muscles were massive and on display.

He moved up and down too, obviously doing push ups. However, as someone who is attracted to this man, it's like watching Jungkook hump or have missionary sex with the air.

"I don't think I should be looking at this." I muttered quietly to Jimin.

"Why not? Your man is shirtless Tae. Enjoy the sight." Jimin said with a chuckle, hitting my arm.

"What's going on?" Jimin questioned a couple minutes later, dragging us over to the rest of their crew.

None of the other royals or staff were on the deck so I did feel a bit like Jimin and I intruded.

However, Jimin's bubbly friendly nature very easily got us involved.

"We bet on how many push-ups the captain can do." One of the male crew told Jimin.

"Wanna bet too?" The male asked Jimin, nudging Jimin's shoulder excitedly.

Jimin laughed, "Fuck bitch I would but I am not rich and didn't bring any money with me." Jimin chimed, getting along perfectly with the crew while I just felt awkward.

"How many does he have to do?" Jimin asked the male while everyone started counting out loud.

"100." The male beside us replied.

"89" I heard the rest of the crew count.

"If I was betting, I'd bet for over one hundred because have you seen the man's muscles." Jimin chimed, before looking at me to wave his eyebrows seductively.

I rolled my eyes looking away from Jimin and at Jungkook.

I suppose Jungkook can't see me looking at him so I may as well stare at the gorgeous hunky man in front of me while I can.

"98." I now heard them count.

"Ooh he's sweating, I don't think he can do it!" One of his crew mates chimed.

"Of course I'm sweating bastard, I am working out in the sun for fuck sakes." Jungkook grumbled from the ground, his tone sounding utterly sexy to me as he panted.

Jungkook slowed down now, doing another push up while catching his breath.

"99. Come on Cap, one more!" The male beside Jimin shouted.

However I could see Jungkook's lips turn into a smile as he began doing push ups quickly again.

He went past 100, making some crew cheer and some cry out in annoyance.

I smiled amused as I watched people pass people money.

Jimin and I laughed more watching someone who lost money sit on Jungkook's back before he could get up making the male whine.

"Get off me fag." I heard Jungkook snort.

"You tricked me." The male huffed as he stood up from sitting on Jungkook's back.

I was surprised Jungkook could even hold the man's weight because the other man was a full grown male with quite a big belly.

My breath hitched seeing Jungkook stand up, a smile on his face as someone passed him some money.

His hands flicked through the money while my eyes fell onto his flawless front.

His perfect pecs, abs, muscular arms and even the beginning of his v lines were on display.

I salivated to the sight, knowing the male is only inches away from me this time and that his body is in full light.

When he looked up however, his eyes did fall on me.

He shoved the money in his pocket before directly speaking straight to me.

I was shocked to hear him speak, "Oh yes, you're here."

He wants me to have watched him do push ups?

Why does he sound so excited?

"You remember how you said you do fencing?" Jungkook asked, seeing not one bit insecure about his body in front of me as he even walked closer to me.

"Ah, yeah." I responded knowing everyone's eyes were on me.

I mentally slapped my cheek for the uncertain answer because a damn almost king shouldn't stutter.

Nor should they be this much distracted by one person's body.

My eyes fell upon his flawless long collar bones as he spoke, "How about a round of fencing with me, best of three?" He asked excitedly.

"You know how to do fencing?" I questioned, now making eye contact with him even though I know he basically caught me looking at his body.

"Yeah. Well sort of. I've done enough training with swords and I know you don't hurt anyone from it." He basically stated.

I nodded.

"Doing it with swords alright with you?" He asked while pulling out two swords from a pole that either he or someone else has likely thrown them into so they'd stay on board while the ship goes over waves.

"I suppose." I said feeling the weight of the sword in my hand as he passed me one.

"Place your bets." Jungkook chimed to his crew.

"No offence Tae but I wouldn't be betting on you if I could." Jimin chimed from beside me.

"What? Why?" I questioned.

"Because that man knows how to use a sword. You may be pretty damn good at fencing but he uses a sword for a living. You gotta likely up your game if you want to win right now. He's not gonna be your average player to verse that they normally find you back home." Jimin told me.

He is right, Jungkook has skills with knives and swords.

Seeing him throw a knife earlier was enough for me to feel intimidated by him and weapons so I know this will be a challenge.

It will be a fun challenge though which Jungkook looks really excited for.

"Can you at least put a shirt on for this." I muttered to Jungkook who caught my gaze, raising his eyebrow.

"I just haven't exactly used a sword before so if I accidentally get too close to you with the blade, maybe your shirt would protect your skin," I replied.

"And you're also very likely to get sunburned." I finished saying.

"Thanks for caring," He began making me scoff.

"You don't have to make excuses though, I already know the truth for why you want me to wear a shirt." He replied.

"And why is that?" I asked, knowing Jimin at least was likely over hearing our conversation as Jimin stood behind my right shoulder.

"Because I know you'd get distracted by my body." He replied.

His tongue cheekily flickered over his bottom lip, his eyes scanned me up and down before he walked around Jimin and I to grab his shirt from where he left it on a barrel.

"Um, did he just low key flirt with you?" Jimin gasped.

"Um, sort of. His way of possibly flirting is through calling me out on stuff." I answered back.

"You gotta flirt back." Jimin cooed as Jungkook headed back over to me with his shirt on now.

"Ready?" Jungkook asked, standing opposite me as Jimin moved away to give us space.

"Yeah, are you?" I asked him.

"Mhm, why wouldn't I be?" He said, swinging the sword perfectly around in a circle motion in his right hand.

"Thought I'd check, I don't want my attractive face to distract you." I hummed.

I saw Jimin's mouth open wide hearing my flirty tease.

I think Jimin was shocked that I even said that in front of his crew too who were now paying attention.

However, with my chat with Dawon earlier, it gave me confidence that I'd be fine saying that.

I watched Jungkook's reaction, his tongue ran over his teeth before he bit his bottom lip on the left side, a smile appearing a couple seconds after.

"Oh, it won't, and if it does, I'll just take my shirt back off again because then you have to deal with my attractive face and body." He replied with a smirk.

He quickly understood that I don't mind Jimin witnessing some flirty talk between us considering Jimin was on deck too.

My heart was racing as Jungkook lifted his sword towards mine.

I've never felt so alive, so free and so naughty. I could flirt so much with Jungkook and never get bored. I am hooked on trying to captivate this male and it seems our flirty banter has finally given me some more hope and confirmation that Jungkook has to be into me.

Thoughts? Feelings? Concerns? Ahhh the flirts. Fuck I wanna see Jungkook completely shirtless too. Come on Calvin Klein, I wanna see some shirtless underwear photos of Jungkook! Cuz It says he's also showing off underwear so come on!!! Any guesses of who's gonna win between Tae & Jungkook?
